Stunning, hand-knotted New Zealand wool and natural silk rug based on a painting by Robert Delaunay and designed by Barbara Barran. Blues and oranges in this rug tie in with common colors in the dining room and music area rugs, creating a lovely flow to the space. The circles in the rug echo the circular design of the ottomans.

What do teenager’s need most in their bedroom? Personalized space to make their own, a place to study and do homework, and of course, plenty of storage! This teenage girl’s bedroom not only provides much needed storage and built in desk, but does it with clever interplay of three-dimensional wall design which provide niches and shelves for books, nik-naks, and all teenage things. While keeping the architectural elements characterizing the entire design of the house, the interior designer provided millwork solution every teenage girl needs. Not only aesthetically pleasing but purely functional. Along the window (a perfect place to study) there is a custom designed L-shaped desk which incorporates bookshelves above countertop, and large recessed into the wall bins that sit on wheels and can be pulled out from underneath the window to access the girl’s belongings. The multiple storage solutions are well hidden to allow for the beauty and neatness of the bedroom and of the millwork with multi-dimensional wall design in drywall. Black out window shades are recessed into the ceiling and prepare room for the night with a touch of a button, and architectural soffits with led lighting crown the room. Cabinetry design by the interior designer is finished in bamboo material and provides warm touch to this light bedroom. Lower cabinetry along the TV wall are equipped with combination of cabinets and drawers and the wall above the millwork is framed out and finished in drywall. Multiple niches and 3-dimensional planes offer interest and more exposed storage. Soft carpeting complements the room giving it much needed acoustical properties and adds to the warmth of this bedroom. This custom storage solution is designed to flow with the architectural elements of the room and the rest of the house. Photography: Craig Denis

This room was formerly a tiled cold space with angled walls, no storage and cables lying around everywhere. Our brief was to integrate an extremely large television and audio visual equipment, and to include a fireplace and interesting storage for objects d'art. There were significant challenges with the space, however the end result is a warm, inviting and seamless space where none of the telltale signs of modern AV technology are on display except for the TV itself (which is flush-mounted and backlit by warm LED strip lighting), and the sub-woofer concealed in its own housing but still open to allow for airflow. We incorporated four separate deep niches and wrapped each in textured vinyl, meticulously applied to ensure the horizontal lines flowed continuously, and lit them with a warm glow from concealed LED strip lighting. The incredible open fronted fireplace was selected to match the width of the TV exactly, and has is deceptively deep. We finished this with a solid granite hearth. Clever cupboards with push to open hardware conceal all of the rest of the technology and equipment. The room is furnished with two 4 seat soft leather chesterfield style lounges and fruitwood coffee and side tables. A large window streams winter sunlight in making the entire room glow.

An interior build-out of a two-level penthouse unit in a prestigious downtown highrise. The design emphasizes the continuity of space for a loft-like environment. Sliding doors transform the unit into discrete rooms as needed. The material palette reinforces this spatial flow: white concrete floors, touch-latch cabinetry, slip-matched walnut paneling and powder-coated steel counters.
